It’s Friday: Not a bad day for a lobster roll. Here’s where the Pulse staff eats them.

Earl Tupper was born on this day in 1907. (Ware? Berlin, N.H.)

Continuum of care: Mather has agreed to join the Northwell Health system, leaving only one unaligned LI hospital to fight over.

Get down with your bad self Kevin Tracey: The Feinstein Institute raised $2.6 million at a summer concert featuring Pitbull, the hip hop artist most recently known for “Sexy Body,” his duet with Jennifer Lopez. Sample lyric – “S is for sex, E for the e in X, Y ’cause baby, I’m up next.” (Who says researchers ain’t dope?)

We can dig it: Gov. Cuomo called out President Trump to pony up a promised $10 billion in federal funding for the so-called Gateway project, which would double the capacity of the rail tunnels under the Hudson, which the guv said move 17 percent of the nation’s people and 22 percent of its GDP. (At press time, Albany still awaited a responding tweet.)

Separately: When asked why he so studiously avoids attacking the president’s conservative policies, Cuomo told the Times, “As a general rule, I haven’t found nasty, ad hominem attacks on a person whose cooperation is needed to help your state especially helpful.”

Reuse, renew, report: New York is poised to lead the country on renewables, according to a new report.

It pays to study: NYIT is partnering with the American Association of University Women to teach students how to negotiate their best possible comp package. (Where were they when I was 22? Or 45?)

2,000 docs: Oceanside-based South Nassau Communities Hospital announced a “strategic alliance” between New York Medical Partners, a regional affiliation of independent physicians and physician organizations, and the Independent Physician Association of Nassau/Suffolk Counties, a clinical network built around an integrated Patient Health Information platform.

Yes, but that is why we is so smart: 70 percent of NY’s per-pupil education costs go to compensation for teachers, aides and other classroom help, versus the national average of about 60 percent, the Empire Center notes in a new study. Spending in this one category, in fact, exceeded total Pre-K to 12 outlays in 42 other states.

Being flexible: The Suffolk County IDA voted preliminary support for a $5.7 million deal that helps IT firm Flexible Business Systems acquire and equip a 40,000 square-foot facility at 290 Motor Parkway in Hauppauge, the current Dale Carnegie space. The expansion will add 15 jobs over the next two years.

Simons Watch: Renaissance Technologies founder Jim Simons’ net worth remained stubbornly stuck at $15.7 billion this week, although he is up $170 million year to date, according to the daily-adjusted Bloomberg Billionaires Index. (That’s a gain of 1.1 %, a performance that surely would have gotten him canned at Renaissance.)

Congrats: AVZ’s Andrea Mattera and Brian Petersen have been promoted to Principal.

Oh and: Jeff Nagel of the AVZ Wealth Management team has been named a 30 under 30.
